Reader’s Write: Public grows weary of big government, Obamacare

The Island Now

I pray that this response to Dr. Hal Sobel’s response to my letter dealing with the African-American community does not cause him to experience cardiac arrest. 

I totally agree with the statement that “Lack of GOP support among blacks earned.”

The Republican Party, particularly at the national level, are wimps. 

They are simply a subset of the Democratic Party controlled by liberals, socialists, and Marxists. And, yes, now throw in the newest term… Progressives.

Peggy Noonan in her latest column in The Wall Street Journal [Jan. 18-19, 2014] really nailed it when she wrote: 

“There’s an increasing sense in our political life that in both parties politicians call themselves public servants but act like bosses who think the voters work for them. Physicians who routinely help the needy and the uninsured do not call themselves servants. They get to be called the 1 percent. Politicians who jerk around doctors, nurses and health systems call themselves servants, when of course they look more like little kings and queens instructing the grudging peasants in how to arrange their affairs.” And her comments on Obama himself and his Obamacare are priceless…including: “It was political selfishness that blew up the American health-care system. And it’s the public, in this and other messes, that’s left holding the bag. But as government gets bigger the bag gets bigger and people will get tired of carrying it. They’re already tired.”

Over to you, Doc.
